Omeprazole 20mg Gastro-resistant Capsules - Teva (28 Count)

Teva Omeprazole 20mg is a widely used medication in Nigeria for managing stomach acid and providing relief from gastrointestinal discomfort. While many users search for "Omeprazole tablets," this Teva product comes in the form of gastro-resistant capsules containing enteric-coated pellets. This formulation ensures the active ingredient passes through the stomach safely to be absorbed in the small intestine.

Effective Treatment for Ulcer and GERD

Whether you are dealing with a stomach ulcer (gastric ulcer) or the persistent burning of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Teva Omeprazole works by inhibiting the "proton pump" in your stomach. This significantly reduces acid production, allowing your digestive tract to heal and preventing further irritation.

Key Benefits

• Sustained Acid Reduction: Provides long-lasting relief from excess stomach acid.
• Heartburn Management: Helps manage frequent heartburn (2 or more days a week).
• Supports Ulcer Healing: Promotes the recovery of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
• Protects the Esophagus: Helps heal damage caused by chronic acid reflux.

Dosage and How to Use

In Nigeria, the standard dosage for adults is usually one 20mg capsule daily, taken in the morning before breakfast.

• Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the capsules, as this destroys the gastro-resistant coating.
• Consistency: For best results, take it at the same time every day.

Safety and Precautions

If you are wondering, "can a pregnant woman take Omeprazole?", you should consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before use. While generally considered safe when prescribed, it should only be used during pregnancy if the benefit outweighs the risk.
